Your input valued.

Carrots don't transplant well so are not transplanted, they're
thinned, the pulled ones thrown away.

Never knew that; hadn't had occasion to transplant a quantity before.
In this case, I couldn't follow above advice; I had to clear the area
for something else, and hated to waste perfectly good little carrots.
Still looking for explanation of "hair".
